Eclectic Therapists in West University Place, TX

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, depressed and/or anxious? Are you living your life to your full potential? Emotional pain puts a strain on all aspects of life. Allow me the opportunity to help you find meaning in your life, reconnect and better communicate with your loved ones, build confidence, manage your emotions, and reach your goals. My name is Katherine, I’m a bilingual therapist dedicated to empowering children, adolescents, and adults to reach their full potential. I have a particular passion for building wellness and healing among communities of color.

Now accepting new clients! My primary therapeutic goal is to approach each individual in a unique way. While helping clients develop healthy coping strategies and achieve personal growth and positive change, I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment. As a therapist, I am passionate about helping clients in coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, stress, relationship difficulties, divorce, parenting, grief and loss, abuse and neglect, domestic violence, addictions, bipolar disorders, and more. I see pre-teens, adolescents, families, and adults struggling with behavioral, emotional, or relational issues.

The person you commit to has the power to make your life better or, in some unfortunate cases, worse. That’s why Premarital counseling is so important: This isn’t meant to scare you, but it also isn’t hyperbole. Getting serious with someone is fun and it’s also a meaningful process that you want to go well because the stakes (your futures) are so high. I can help you and your partner sort through what you need to make sure you’re the right fit for lasting love. During our initial meeting we’ll review your marriage goals and discuss the results of 3 industry-leading assessments designed to determine your compatibility.

I am proud to work with clients whose brains are different, whose ways of looking at and interacting with the world are unique, and who are looking to untangle their authentic selves from the mask society pushed them to wear, learn to love/accept themselves as they are, and use this radical self-love to make the changes they want to see. Creative, brave, bold, spicy, innovative, intelligent, justice-oriented - these are the traits that were already there inside those wonderful human beings I serve, and one way or another the world tried to bury them. But the world didn't know they were seeds.

It is easy to feel lost or overwhelmed in today's world. If you are facing difficult issues at home, work or in your personal life I can provide you with the support you need to effectively evaluate these challenges. Therapy can help you address many types of issues including depression, anxiety, conflict, grief, stress management, body-image issues, and general life transitions, such as marriage, divorce or parenting teenagers. Although you cannot change painful situations from the past, we can work together to resolve difficulties in your life today.

Currently accepting new clients, in-person & teletherapy available. Stepping into the process of counseling takes courage, vulnerability, creativity, and curiosity. It requires the use of one’s whole self—body, mind, emotion and spirit. We also all need community to do the work of healing. Finding a trusted counselor can be one such communal support as you move through the process of excavating who you really are from beneath confusing and toxic layers of culture, religion, family messages, trauma, and unhealthy beliefs about yourself and others.

My ideal client is anyone who is eager to make changes toward a healthier and more fulfilling life emotionally, mentally, physically, career wise or spiritually. My therapeutic approach is based on empowering each client I work with and helping them to use inner resources as well as the resources around them. I adjust my techniques and approaches to the needs of each client and pride myself on practicing cultural flexibility. I understand that clients want responsiveness, respect, knowledge, resources, and a therapist who can empathize. Clients want to be truly heard. I am here to listen and to facilitate your healing.

Our spouse/mate is the most significant enlivening resource in our lives, or the living embodiment of hell.No one taught us how to convert conflict into enriching, intimacy. That is, however, possible and what I am an expert at offering. With twenty-five years experience, I focus on couples and individuals resolving distress and optimizing intimacy with deep interest in enhancing the meaning individuals experience in their lives. I am not a silent, listener but an active co-creator of therapeutic relationship.

People rarely talk openly about the realities of pregnancy, fertility challenges, adoption, and parenting. No matter how prepared to grow your family you felt, you now feel painfully aware of how little you can know and how challenging the transitions can be. You may believe that everyone judges you, and, let’s face it, you may judge yourself. You may compare yourself to people on social media, in articles, and around you. You often feel a swell of emotions – happiness, shame, love, regret, hope – all at the same time. And you’re not sure where to turn for real, honest support.
